ya, so donovan is pretty much the coolest. i don't know if anyone watches futurama, but i just saw the episode where they go deep under the ocean and find lost ATLANTA. and the mayor brings them to the tourist center, and there's a video and its donovan telling about atlanta like how he talks in atlantis. its way cool. but every time i see that episode, i just have to listen to that song. i guess this can be a general donovan discussion topic |

My favourite folk artist. I love his autobiography, my favourite music book I've got. He's a bit big-headed, but still, I love the bohemian lifestyle he led. "Jennifer Juniper" is an amazing song. |

Donovan does have some wonderful songs. Although I only have one studio album and two compilation albums, I have been listening to Donovan on the radio my entire life. There are similarities with Belle and Sebastian as it seems Donovan was almost a blue-print for some of their songs. I thought we had a Donovan topic somewhere already but why bother to look for it when this one too shall be a ghost in April. "Atlanits" was a rare radio memory for me up until about ten years ago when I got the compilation disc I favor most from Leitch. "Jennifer, Juniper". Between Fleetwood Mac, Donovan, George Harrison and Eric Clapton, those Boyd sisters really seem to get around. Or at least something that seems amusing when exaggerated. "Season Of The Witch" is another favorite from him that was covered well by a few other artists. His is the finest in my opinion. |

Stuart Murdoch said he had no idea who Donovan was until after people related him to their sound. Sort of interesting because I thought he would have been a huge influence on their sound. |

I can't send my compilation I have of his that owned my soul all those year ago. (Probably slap in the two disc Belle & Sebastian compilation I've deprived you from, too.) |

I have Hurdy Gurdy Man (which is a great album) and the Essential Donovan compilation. I enjoy both a lot, he's a very easy mellow listen |
